Clinton-Jennings dustup transcript::
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 11:26 PM by flowomo
"A paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in an interview broadcast Thursday night, in a bizarre rant about his impeachment that laid bare the ex-president's persecution complex.
"You don't want to go here, Peter," Clinton warned, after Jennings told him that historians ranked him second to last of all presidents in terms of moral authority.
Squinting his eyes, an angry Clinton seethed, "You don't want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did. No one has any idea of what that's like."
The amazing exchange came after Clinton at first claimed he didn't care about the verdict of historians.
"I had more support from the world when I quit than when I started," he claimed. "And I will go to my grave being at peace about it. And I don't really care about what think."

6. It's not just a transcript, and you know it
It has all the Newsmax bullshit commentary included.

That's for fundies and Savage disciples. It doesn't belong here.

15. Transcript? It's a bunch of bullshit spin.
If I want the actual TRANSCRIPT, I'll look for it at abcnews.com

Personally, I think that posting newsmax links should be cause for banning. Why would ANYONE on "our" side push for more hits on that right wing hate site?

21. I'm pretty sure they got this part wrong-
"And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he did."

The way I heard it was:

"And the way you - your network - what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing his office leaked".

Am I the only one who heard it that way?

22. Newsmax?
Uh, no thanks, I'll take a pass. Besides I can tell from the first line of that "transcript" that that is no transcript. It's an editorial column. A transcript ONLY has the words that were spoken, no commentary.

Yuck. There's another link around here somewhere with the actual transcript.
